She’s here, she’s in a memory, she’s talking about things that happened after her death. The post death stuff is really off putting, I get it’s supposed to be her telling her story after the fact, but dead Cleopatra telling her tale feels weird.

My mom and I used to drive by a nice neighborhood always noting a large house being built, I’d always joke “I gotta marry Rich…ard” at some point it turned into “I gotta find Dick,” which I still sometimes say, often miss wording it unintentionally.
Just inspired to share that, plus it felt like a Quinn-esk type of ramble.

I’m into this enough that I want to hurry up and finish but can’t stand it for too long while actually reading.

I don’t know if I care enough to keep going.

1. Why does this have illustrations?
2. Why are the illustrations for scenes you wouldn’t want anyone looking over your shoulder to see?

Is the neighbor’s endless nonsense necessary?

The fluffy fake dating romance I’m also reading left me too antsy to sleep so I’ve decided to switch to a sociopathic little girl for my bedtime read.

So accepting a job he would help her get, so she can make money to try and pay off her student loans, is charity, but letting him pay it off completely is just a good deal? 🙄

Also another MQ book where the guy explains to the woman “it’s all about connections and who you know.”

Well now I want Chipotle.

I’d really like to know the writing process behind this because it often feels like she went through the bookish side of social media and just regurgitated the most shared thoughts and quotes. It almost feels like a debut novel and the author just spewed out what she thinks the reader wants.

Reading a book about a woman who would rather be anywhere else when I’m feeling the same way. There’s a word for that I’m sure.

We’re supposed to get what’s going on right? I mean it’s literally in the subtitle.

This book has been on my shelf for so long I’m pretty sure the reason I bought it is no longer relevant to me. Luckily I’m still into folklore though.

I just can’t with contemporary romances. I’m only sticking with this since it’s short.

I’m remembering bits and pieces about what’s happening. Mainly what’s going to happen to one character.

I loved this when I first read it; yet I remember nothing. Which is actually good because I’m falling in love with it all over again.

Latina Cinderella meeting a prince in church is exactly why I’m looking for pre-catholic tales.

I’d prefer pre-Catholic era folktales.

I skipped the Tall Tales, not exactly the type of folktale I’m looking for. That and a few were stories that I was already familiar with.

Nothing against this but it’s really making me want to reread Michelle Moran’s Cleopatra’s Daughter.

I barely made it through The Omen without thinking “Atticus Finch is trying to kill his kid.” No way would I have been able to watch with Dick Van Dyke.

Not entirely sure what is happening.

London might really be nothing but this book isn’t much either. 🫤

It’s been awhile but I had forgotten that I’m not a big fan of “woe is me, loveless millionaire” romances. Added bonus of it being a vampire and this one just feels a little tacky.

I know I said I was liking this one more but, ugh these guys are annoying. And this isn’t the first time I say this while reading one of E. Lockhart’s books so that’s clearly a thing with her.

I read We Were Liars in two days, I can’t remember if I wasn’t feeling well or just trying to avoid the upcoming holiday, but I think I’m liking this one a little more.

I was going to wonder if Lucille Ball knew an unflattering picture of hers was used in this but then realized it was published a year after her death.

The last chapter was six months in 1927, suddenly the next one is 1934 but it picks up the following morning?
